Abstract: A cloud-enabled mobile app plays an essential role in improving farming activities. This paper focuses on using cloud computing and the Wireless Sensors Network (WSNs) technology to enhance the application and its benefits to the field of agriculture. The paper focuses on the Cloud Database as well as Data Mining which gives details of past agriculture work records of farmers. The farmers who have inserted the system and installed the application on their Smartphones can register the application so that they can access as well as upload the data stored on the server and use the system efficiently. Temperature, Humidity and Soil moisture will be the various WSN's used. The main purpose of the sensors are to sense and measure the environmental parameters and data from the fields. The farmer will get the notifications of condition in his field by these sensors. When the water level in the field reduces, the farmer will get notification, so that he can power ON the motor through his Smartphone. The motor will get power OFF automatically when the sufficient water supply is provided in the farm up to the threshold or particular value. The main objective is to minimize the efforts and time of farmer and perform efficient and systematic farming to increase productivity.
